Lovely, twilight mystery - wonderfully brought to life in this performance - thank you Franck!

Wonderful composing and playing Franck. The smallness and largeness of nature brought together. An uneasy sweetness foregrounded against a slightly menacing cosmos.

Your flute sounds like a living bird - impeccable craftsmanship, and always unexpected musical ideas. Thank you!

A wonderful sound story. A musical entertainment with the birds. Chapeau

« Kedros »  My concerto for flute & orchestra Opus 24 (VST recording)

“This song is inspired by late 90’s US Rock/00’s Pop-Punk and 00’s British Indie Pop. It is about anxiety. Musically it is an attempt to showcase the storm and calm that anxiety can create in daily life. Lyrically it is about wanting to reset emotions and be free from worry and self doubt - to be yourself; a self without anxiety. This is a kind of conceptual art record.” 

A song about anxiety - “Be My Somebody”

Let me take, take what I need to take
Let me think what I need to think, meditate it away
Sometimes the world around me feels like I live in hell 
I treat everyone better than I treat myself

I’m chasing freedom while you are chasing me 

Stay away from me anxiety
Get away from me anxiety
Get outta my head
Get outta my body
Take me back to the start so I can be my somebody
Stay away from me anxiety

Getting caught up inside my head
Can you figure it out? 
Taking the torch away from the world
Goodbye reality
Don’t forget that this will pass 
Be your best friend 
Feelings come and feelings go

BE MY SOMEBODY

This is the second track inspired by E.M. Forster's, "The Machine Stops". 
Vashti reluctantly leaves her cell to visit her errant son on the other side of the planet. Here's the passage that inspired me:

"The air ship service was a relic from the former age. It was kept up, because it was easier to keep it up than to stop it or diminish it, but now it far exceeded the wants of the population. Vessel after vessel would rise up from the vomitories of Rye or of Christchurch, would sail into the crowded sky and would draw up at the wharves of the south - empty."

The Airship

Synth impro from the night - I just wanted to make a quick and easy piece and its nostalgic vibe reminded of Tokyo, which I was lucky to visit 5 years ago.

Here's my inspiration : « Jésus est le soleil. Marie est l'Aurore qui annonce sa venue »
PAPE FRANÇOIS
And :
« Dans l'univers, de nombreuses forces sont à l'œuvre, que nous ne connaissons pas encore, comme l'énergie noire.
Un exercice courant dans les devoirs scolaires consistait à représenter notre système solaire sous la forme d'une maquette.
Grâce à cet exercice, nous savons que le système solaire est un ensemble de planètes qui tournent autour de la grande étoile dorée. Mais dans ces modèles, le soleil était statique et flottait dans l'immensité.
Or, les astronomes soulignent depuis des décennies que le système solaire, et surtout notre galaxie, la Voie lactée, se déplacent dans l'immensité de l'univers à une vitesse d'environ 600 kilomètres par seconde.
Et l'on sait depuis longtemps que ce voyage a une destination.
Les découvertes faites dans les années 1970 par un groupe d'astronomes ont permis de déterminer l'existence d'une "grande force" dont la source serait la destination du voyage actuel de la galaxie.
Cette force a été appelée le « Grand Attracteur »
Notre galaxie se dirige vers quelque chose que nous ne pouvons pas voir clairement. Le point focal de ce mouvement est le Grand Attracteur, fruit de milliards d'années d'évolution cosmique", explique à BBC Mundo le cosmologiste Paul Sutter, professeur d'astrophysique à l'université Stony Brooks de New York
Et malgré la vitesse impressionnante à laquelle notre galaxie voyage, elle n'atteindra probablement jamais la destination fixée par le Grand Attracteur
Nous n'atteindrons jamais notre destination car, dans quelques milliards d'années, la force d'accélération de l'énergie noire détruira l'univers  explique M. Sutter.
L'énergie noire, explique la NASA, est une force mystérieuse qui imprègne le cosmos et accélère l'expansion de l'univers.
Comment notre compréhension actuelle de l'univers est en réalité "un aveu de notre ignorance"
Cela signifie que les galaxies s'éloignent de plus en plus les unes des autres, jusqu'à ce que, dans des milliards d'années, la structure de l'univers telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui soit détruite.
Comprendre les effets du Grand Attracteur fait donc partie de la quête de compréhension de la structure de l'univers.
Dans l'étude de l'univers, il est très important de savoir comment il est organisé, pourquoi il est organisé à partir de structures qui ont certaines dimensions, et le fait de connaître chacune d'entre elles et leurs dimensions nous aide beaucoup dans cette entreprise", a déclaré à BBC Mundo Carlos Augusto Molina, un astrophysicien colombien qui travaille au planétarium de Bogota.
Au fur et à mesure que l'exploration spatiale progressait, en grande partie grâce au télescope Hubble envoyé dans l'espace dans la seconde moitié du 20e siècle, les astronomes ont été confrontés au défi d'organiser d'une manière ou d'une autre tout ce qu'ils voyaient.
Une sorte de carte a commencé à être dessinée et, bien sûr, l'un des points clés était de savoir où se trouvent notre système solaire et notre galaxie dans l'univers.
Vers les années 1970, nous avons commencé à étudier le mouvement de notre système solaire et de notre galaxie, et nous l'avons comparé avec le mouvement d'autres galaxies proches, et tout semblait aller dans la même direction, celle de l'expansion de l'univers", explique M. Sutter.
Notre galaxie, la Voie lactée, se dirige vers l'endroit où se trouve le Grand Attracteur...»

We Have Ways Of Making You Dance - with Entheogenic Psychonaut (Josh Clary) feat. Danke Noetic

This song is about my grandfather's recitation of a traditional joke when he would pass a cemetery, he would say, "People are dying to get in there," and how this joke has transcended three generations of my family, with my own kids now reciting the joke. They have added, "....and the wait is killing them." Either way, the song is about how we live on after we die through the loved ones we leave behind. 
The lyrics on the recording are different than these lyrics posted. After I recorded this song, I returned to these lyrics and made changes so I could recite it as poetry. I added more imagery. I so appreciate the musicians and artists who support my work and only hope we can all continue to stay inspired and grow through our art.

Lyrics:
They were thrown to the thieves
Into the sleeves with stolen cheese
Breaking into the floor lookin for more
With a gun at the door

And the kids read all day and read all night for the knowledge to grow
Asking the questions like a sinister punch in the nose.
Slaying jokes while driving past cemeteries –“Hey, Dad, people are dying to get in there!”
Looking for sleds -winter was coming - better a blanket on bed

Living on the lake in the breeze
Got the balance that you need
Challenged by that week on the ledge
You made a pledge from behind the shed.

I was one of those guys that never complained 
When the couch got stained
But I felt the blame
So I learned to get tame 
On a verdurous plane

But the kids read all day and read all night for the knowledge to grow
They ask questions like a sinister punch in the nose.
Slaying jokes while driving past cemeteries, “Hey, Dad, people are dying to get in there!”
Looking for sleds winter was coming better a blanket on bed

When we arrived we were met with their swords
We made peace through our music with no discord

We said that we don’t care
We don’t care when the snare hits the bear

Oh my god you threw it out!
Poison left to share
 Oh my god you gave up stout?
Better stop your stare
Best alive with blooded ties
Given up the cynical cares

And the kids read all day and read all night for the knowledge to grow
Asking the questions like a sinister punch in the nose.
Slaying jokes while driving past overgrown, familiar cemeteries “Hey Dad, people are dying to get in there!”
Looking for sleds -winter was coming- better a blanket on bed

Friday Evening

Ken wrote this song (K2 and the Three, and K2 and the Four) a little more than three decades ago, and recorded it with a former band in '95. It's about being a guy who recovers a woman from a failed relationship, even though he doesn't expect it to last. He got the term from an episode of the '90s hit Roseanne, when one of the someone quipped after one of the daughters had been dumped by a bad boy, only to find a new boyfriend, that "it's not gonna last. He's her transition man." So, Ken, finding himself in a similar situation, picked up the term and ran with it.
His original recording was a harder rock sounding song we used a template, but only loosely. Josh Clary (Entheogenic Psychonaught) tried to answer the question, what would Flea play on this? JJ Terrell came up with the fonky funk keys. Tez (Llanpsych) and Stephen (TexMex Shaman) came up with with the lightning and fire guitar leads. Ken, of course, did the driving drumming and essential percussion. Chris (cgManess) added the really solid foundational rhythm guitar. He also sings this one. On top of that, he also did a fantastic job of producing and mixing it, as well as coming up with the art.
We hope you enjoy it. Below are the lyrics, too.

Hey won’t you listen to me?
I know I can’t set you free
But I’ll jump start your broken heart
Make it safe again for you to live and love
You know it’s all or nothing

Love see me for awhile
Let ‘em know you’re back in style
It’s touch and go, baby you should know
Feelings from your temporary heart
Leave me with all or nothing
Yeah

Girl, I’ll see you in my dreams tonight
It only takes all of my time
You see my brilliant color
Fades to black and white
For I see what you are
And I know who I am

I’m your
Your transition man, yea
Your transition man, yeah

Baby who’s to blame
Was it your fire or my flame?
Candle’s always melt to wax
But I want you to love me like “ forever “
Is all, or is it nothing?

Darling you’re in my soul
I thought I should let you know
The Spirit that is moving me
Is it all ill have, or will you take my hand?
Give me all or give me nothing

And it’s a long distance, baby!!!
